Netflix’s Crime Drama “Adolescence” Surges to 24.3M Views in Just Four Days

Netflix’s latest crime thriller, “Adolescence”, has taken the streaming platform by storm, racking up 24.3 million views within its first four days of release. The British crime drama, which follows the gripping story of a family dealing with their young son’s murder accusation, has quickly become the most-watched series on Netflix for the week of March 10-16.

A Massive Hit on Netflix

“Adolescence” has captivated audiences with its intense storytelling, making it the top-ranked series globally. However, it fell just short of claiming the overall No. 1 spot, as “The Electric State”, the highly anticipated sci-fi film by the Russo brothers starring Millie Bobby Brown and Chris Pratt, led Netflix’s Top 10 chart with 25.2 million views.

How Other Shows Performed

While “Adolescence” dominated TV rankings, other series also saw significant viewership:

• “Running Point” took second place with 6 million views in its third week.
• “Zero Day” secured 4.4 million views, holding its position in the Top 10 for four consecutive weeks.
• “Beauty in Black” followed closely, garnering 3.9 million views, boosted by the release of Part 2 of Season 1.
• “Formula 1: Drive to Survive” (Season 7) continued its strong performance, earning 3.2 million views in its second week.
• The March 20 edition of “Raw: 2025” rounded out the list with 3 million views.

Why “Adolescence” is a Must-Watch

The show’s gripping narrative, suspenseful twists, and emotionally charged performances have contributed to its rapid success. As Netflix continues to push high-quality original content, “Adolescence” has set a new benchmark for crime dramas in 2024.

With this strong momentum, the series is expected to remain a top contender in the coming weeks. Will it surpass other Netflix hits? Stay tuned to see if “Adolescence” continues its record-breaking run.
